The REST of the Finish Line
The manuscript may be finished, but now it's time to write the blurb, synopsis, and query letter. Short, but not so easy. Try condensing an 80,000 word book into one page, and you'll see what I mean. You can do it, though, with practice. Just keep thinking about what characters and conflict are the most compelling, and write your hook. The synopsis has to include most of the plot lines and resolution. How can you convince an agent or a publisher to look at your book? There are many websites with help in these areas; do your homework before you submit. Good luck!
